re: I am starting to change my opinion of the Ryan hire(Posted by Chad504boy on 2/13/13 at 9:02 am to whodatfan)

quote:After pondering over this move since it was announced, my initial over reaction was, well, larger than rob himself. However, after really thinking about it and talking with a close friend of mine who is a Dallas fan, I actually feel a little optimistic that we may be better off here than I initially thought. While I still have my doubts, I am actually excited to see what he can infuse into the defensive side of the ball and if we can become a productive unit that helps win some tight games this year.

Nothing has really happened since the hire to change my mind much. I'll need to wait and see his demeanor during TC's and get a feel for the players responses. Also, we know things aren't going to go too well early most likely but how does he handle adjustments and the players and how does he get improvement fast.

You don't realize who you are talking to broseph. I don't sway my opinion based on success or failure of a major decision. I said I was being a little more rational after my initial overreaction to the hire. I don't need to edit shite. I said I hated the hire and I'm still not ecstatic about it. However, I can see some potential positives here. I felt I was being a bit unfair by jumping the gun on him and passing judgement before he has a fair shake. He wasn't my first choice or even second for that matter, but what the hire did was make me take a closer look at him and ponder the decision from a different perspective. That's all.
